ece32218-fig-0003: A posteriori habitat types with resource partitioning ratio (size) and combined density index (color) for scimitar‐horned oryx and dorcas gazelle. Point size is proportional to the ratio between oryx and gazelle density (small size indicates a shared habitat, and large size indicates a partitioned habitat), and color represents the density of oryx minus gazelle (red representing oryx dominance and blue gazelle dominance). A posteriori habitats are based on cluster analysis (Appendix S5), the difference in oryx and gazelle density, and the key predictor variables: rock cover and plant species richness.

Mentions:
The cluster analysis indicated that six habitats were distinguishable (Appendix S5) and showed separation on the axes of plant species richness and rock cover (Fig. 3). The habitats were defined as follows: (A) rocky plains with very sparse vegetation (plant cover <1.5%); (B) rocky plains with sparse vegetation (<3%); (C) sand dunes with intermediate vegetation (<20%); (D) densely vegetated (>50%) dune wadis, dominated by herbaceous cover of Stipagrostis spp.; and (E) densely vegetated (>40%) wadis characterized by Retama raetam. The final group (F) is a complex conglomerate of wadi and plain habitat with intermediate vegetation density (<20%). These habitats summarize the landscape from an ungulate's perspective and reveal the patterns of resource partitioning between gazelle and oryx in finer resolution (Fig. 3).
